Reporting Entity And Basis Of Presentation | 1. Reporting entity and basis of presentation a. Reporting entity Nevsun Resources Ltd. (“Nevsun” or “the Company”) is a mid-tier base metals company. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of the Company as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s two principal assets are its ownership interest in the Timok project, a copper-gold development project in Serbia (“Timok Project”), and its 60% owned Bisha Mine in Eritrea (owned via an Eritrean-registered corporation, Bisha Mining Share Company (“BMSC”)). The Company owns a 100% interest in the Upper Zone of the Timok Project and currently owns a 60.4% interest in the Lower Zone of the Timok Project with Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (“Freeport”) owning the remaining interest in the Lower Zone, which represents a non-controlling interest. Nevsun’s 40% partner in the Bisha Mine is the State-owned Eritrean National Mining Corporation (“ENAMCO”), which also represents a non-controlling interest. b. Statement of compliance These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017. These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors on July 25, 2018. c. Significant accounting policies These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements, except as outlined below. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial statements. i. IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments Effective January 1, 2018, the Company has adopted IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments The implementation of the new standard has not had a material impact on the measurement of the Company’s reported financial results; however additional disclosures have been provided. 1. Reporting entity and basis of presentation c. Significant accounting policies i. IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments Under IFRS 9, the Company’s accounting policy for financial instruments is as follows: Financial assets The Company initially recognizes financial assets on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The Company classifies all of its financial assets, except trade receivables, as subsequently measured at amortized cost. Trade receivables are derivatives and are measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”; see note 1(c)(ii)). All financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be recognized as subsequently measured at amortized cost or subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as FVTPL. Financial liabilities The Company measures all of its financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit and loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method. ii. IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers Effective January 1, 2018, the Company has adopted IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers The implementation of the new standard has not had a material impact on the Company’s reported financial results, however additional disclosures have been provided (see note 6). 1. Reporting entity and basis of presentation c. Significant accounting policies ii. IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers Under IFRS 15, the Company’s accounting policy is as follows: Revenue is recognized by the Company when the following conditions have both been met: the Company has the present right to payment for the transferred asset, and the customer has obtained control of the asset. Because sales are completed in the form of executed sales contracts whereby final prices are determined by quoted market prices on a date subsequent to the date of sale, revenue is recorded on a provisional basis based on current market prices on the date control is transferred to the customer. Each period end, prior to final settlement, adjustments are made to the provisional sale price based on movements in quoted forward market prices up to the date of final price determination. This variable pricing adjustment mechanism constitutes a derivative financial instrument and is accounted for at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, with changes in fair value recorded as an adjustment to revenue. Any variances in the measurements of final metal concentrate weight and/or metal content are also recognized as adjustments to revenue. Revenue is presented net of treatment and refining charges and penalties. The Company includes proceeds from the sale of by-products in revenue. iii. Voluntary change in accounting policy – Exploration and evaluation expenditures Effective December 31, 2017, the Company implemented a voluntary change in accounting policy with respect to exploration and evaluation expenditures. As such, certain prior period amounts within these interim financial statements have been restated in accordance with the new policy. Refer to note 12 for additional disclosure regarding the effects of change. d. Use of judgements and estimates In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual amounts incurred by the Company may differ from these values. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017. e. Changes in accounting standards IFRS 16 – Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company will adopt IFRS 16 – Leases |

Mineral properties, plant and equipment | 4. Mineral properties, plant and equipment The Company’s properties are located in Serbia, Eritrea and Macedonia. The principal property in Serbia is the Brestovac – Metovnica exploration license which hosts the Timok Project. The Company also holds as part of the Timok Project three additional exploration licenses. The Company holds eight additional exploration licenses in the Bor region of Serbia that form the Tilva Joint Venture with Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Ltd. (“Rio Tinto”). All exploration expenditures on these eight exploration licenses are funded by Rio Tinto. The Company also holds eleven additional 100%-owned exploration licenses in Serbia. The properties in Eritrea consist of two mining licenses, Bisha and Harena, and two exploration licenses, Tabakin and New Mogoraib. All properties are subject to a mining agreement with the Government of Eritrea. The Bisha mining license was granted in 2008 for an initial period of 20 years and the Harena mining license was granted in 2012 for 10 years. Both licenses can be extended if required. The Tabakin exploration license was granted in 2016 for 10 years before land relinquishment requirements begin. The New Mogoraib license, also granted in 2016, is valid for three years with no relinquishments, followed by two one-year renewals with a 25% annual area reduction after year three. Properties in Macedonia include one exploration permit and seven pending exploration permits. Costs classified as mineral properties represent historic acquisition costs and exploration, evaluation and development costs at Bisha and Harena, incurred subsequent to the declaration of the initial reserves on those exploration licenses. At June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a write down of $10,918 related to equipment and related capital inventory for which there was no longer any useful life. As the result of an extension of the Bisha Mine life announced in June 2018, certain of this equipment and related capital inventory will be refurbished and placed back into use. As a result, $4,992 of the impairment charge was reversed at June 30, 2018. As at June 30, 2018, the Company had commitments to purchase and unsettled obligations for property, plant and equipment of $1,059 (December 31, 2017 – $1,782).

Other revenue in 2017 consists of stockpiled gold and silver bearing ore shipped directly to buyers. The Company’s sales contracts are provisionally priced with provisional pricing periods lasting typically one to four months with provisional pricing adjustments recorded to revenue as market prices vary. The Company’s products are transferred to its customers as at a point in time. As at June 30, 2018, a 10% change to the underlying metals prices would result in a change in revenue and accounts receivable of $9,533, based on the total quantities of metals in sales contracts for which the provisional pricing periods were not yet closed. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and contingencies a. Legal claims The Company is involved in various claims, litigation and other matters in the ordinary course and conduct of business. Some of these pending matters will take a number of years to resolve. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of such actions at this time, and inherent uncertainties exist in predicting such outcomes, it is the Company’s belief that the ultimate resolution of such actions is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. As a result, no contingent liabilities have been recorded in these interim financial statements. b. Contractual dispute with Canaccord Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord”) was an advisor to Reservoir Minerals Inc. (“Reservoir”) in connection with the Company’s transaction (the “Transaction”) to acquire Reservoir and all of its assets, including the Timok Project. In early April 2016, Canaccord and Reservoir entered into an advisory agreement regarding a potential acquisition of control of Reservoir (the “April Advisory Agreement”). In September 2016, Canaccord filed a Notice of Claim in the British Columbia Supreme Court regarding the fees under the April Advisory Agreement. The claim was heard in the British Columbia Supreme Court (“the Court”) on January 25 and 26, 2018. On April 27, 2018, the Court released its judgment concluding that the Transaction Fee under the April Advisory Agreement should total CAD$9,942. The decision was subsequently appealed by Canaccord and cross-appealed by Reservoir in May 2018. At June 30, 2018, the Company has accrued an additional CAD$3,896 ($2,959) in administrative expenses, representing the Transaction Fee of CAD$9,942 per the Court’s judgement less fees previously paid to Canaccord of CAD$6,047. c. Environmental bond As at June 30, 2018, the Company has arranged an annually renewable environmental bond for the Bisha Mine for $65,000 (December 31, 2017 – $45,000) at a cost of 1% per annum. |
